Appeals to Worklngmcn of St. Peters burg to Cut Loose From Revolu tionaries Guard for United States Embassy Reaches Capital. St. Petersburg, Dec. 4. Via Eydt kuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. G. Al though there appears to bo no founda tion for the prevailing fears that rn outbreak is imminent, the population continues In n state of anxious sus pense. Tho garrison has now been reinforced by forty-two battalions of Infantry, fifteen squadrons of cavalry and twelve machlno gun batteries. Tho government, It In reported, nar rowly frustrated a plot whereby 1,000 armed men had arranged to raid tno state treasury. The extension of the Btrlko of the telegraphers to tho pos tal system Is complete and the paral ysis of business Is Increasing tho danger of a financial crisis. Tho strike of tho Moscow telephono opcrntors, who cut tho wires and toro up tho poles, has severed tho last means of communication with tho an cient capital. The present conditions arc unbenrablo. Sympathy with thq poorly paid post and telegraph em ployes is now turning Into Indignation ngalnet tho strikers, and the public Is supporting a formidable movement which has been started by all classes to throw off the yoke of the revolu tionaries. Gapon Against Strikers. Tho government is undoubtedly en couraglng the organizing of tho forces. The "law and order party" took tho lead, which is now being fol lowed by tho "society of strike break ers," but the most important move ment has been started under the lead ership of Kather Gapon, tho former Idol of tho workmen, who, since his residence abroad, has become con vinced that Russia is not prepared for a republic, and Is appealing to his old comrades to cut loose from the revolu tionary agitators. Tho latter already chargo that Kather Gapon has been bought nnd that ho is a traitor to tho cause of tho people. This being a holiday, Kather Gapon attended meetings of eleven of the or ganizations which ho controlled be fore Jan. 22, at which his words were cheered to tho echo. At these meet ings tho socialist orators were howled down nnd In some cases forcibly ejected. If this movement should grow and an effective split among tho workmen be thereby created, it will prove of immeasurable service to tho government in tiding things over until tho meeting of tho douma. A guard for the American embassy, consisting of marines, under a petty officer, from tho United States cruiser Minneapolis, arrived here. Lieutenant General Rudiger, min ister of war, reversed tho judgment of tho court-mnrtial at Samara, sen tencing to death an engineer named Sokoloff and other lenders of the rail road strike. Thus a general railroad strike Is averted. JEWS SEND OUT AN APPEAL. Implore All Civilized Nations to Pre vent Impending Catastrophe. Odessa, Dec. 4. This dispatch Is sent at the request of the Jewish community, which fears a fresh mas sacre by tho local garrison. It is as serted that a proclamation is being circulated In almost every regiment, calling on tho soldiers to exterminate the Jews and to destroy the newspa per offices in revenge for groundless accusations against the tioops of their i ...... .111 participation in massacres and pillage and in tho protection or rowdies. This- Is exciting tho population ngalnst tho army. Tho Jews assert that tho ofll cers deliver nnti-Somitic speeches in tho barracks, after removing the Jew- tcli unlflliil'C! ntiil flint f!in-r.r,if. rtr.,1. I ,',,,,' ., ,, , , crnl Kaulhars hlmseir has confessed that tho officers aro burning for re vengo on tho Jews nnd that ho is un ablo to guarantee tho preservation of order. In vlow of tho fact that this city is entirely cut off from St. Peters burg and thus Is altogether In the hands of tho local authorities, tho Jewish community implores all civ ilized nations and their governments to tako all possible measures at St. ' Petersburg to prevent the catastro phe, which may exceed anything that has yet occurred.
